GOOD DAY SIR/MA
Compliment of the day and how is life general with you? Of course it is
my humble wish to solicit and crave your indulgence to make this project
request for a joint business transaction which I hope will not come to you
as a surprise, hence I plead for your pardon.
I am Dr.Stephen K Eloho.,the Auditing and Accounting Unit,Foreign
Operations Department Union Bank Of Nig,PLC. I have an urgent and
confidential business proposal for you.On June 6,Engr.Steve Moore made a
numbered time (fixed)deposit for twelve calenderer month valued at
US$15.500.000.00(Fiften Million Five Hundred Thousand US Dollars) in my
branch. On maturity, I sent a routine notification to his forwarded address
but got no reply after months we send a reminder and finally we discovered
from his contract employee (Nigeria national petroleum Corporation) that
Late Engr.Steve Moore died from an automobile accident. On further
investigation it was clear that he died without making a will. All attempts
by the Australian to trace his next of kin were fruitless.
I therefore made further investigation and discovered that Late
Engr.Steve Moore did not declare any next of kin or relations in all his
official documents including his deposit document in my bank. The total sum
of US$15,500,000.00 is still in my bank as dormant acct. No one will ever
come forward to claim it. According to Nigerian banking law, after five
years,the money will revert to the ownership of the Nigerian Government. If
the account owner is certified death and nobody comes forward to claim it.
This is the situation , and my proposal is that I am looking for a
foreigner who will stand in as the beneficiary/next of kin. This is simple.
All you have to do is to immediately send me the details of a
bank account anywhere in the world for me to arrange the proper money
transfer document. The money will then be transferred into the account for
us to share in the rationof 60% for me 30% for you while the remaining 10%
will be set aside for expenses incurred within here and there.
There is no risk involved. I am using my position and connection in the bank
here to do all the document work for the transaction. We shall employthe
services of an attorney to obtain all necessary documents and letter of
administration in your fovour for the transfer. This transaction is risk
free guaranteed.
If you are interested,please reply immediately confidentiality and be rest
assured that this transaction could be most profitable for both of us.
Please do not expose this deal if you are not interested because if you do,
it will take me out ofseat.
I am awaiting your urgent reply,please fell free to reply me to any of my
private email addresse below for more details: stepheneloho20770@hotmail.com
Best regards,
Dr.Stephen K Eloho.
